Someone (don't want to name names coz I don't want to ding them personally) promptly answered the call and I excitedly explained how I'm looking to rent out our house - the person on the other end said, "it's close to 8pm on a weekday, I'm with my family, let's schedule another time... it's the nature of my job to answer the call so I did". I 100% respect a person's family time but either fix the listed hours on review sites or send me to voicemail or lastly teach politeness to your employees, otherwise it leaves a sour taste in your mouth, doesn't it? I'm unfortunately compelled to not come back to you for property managing my home ever.

Kristine Abbey and her team at Rockaway Residential Management were truly a lifesaver for our…read morefamily. When our mother moved into a care home, my siblings and I were suddenly responsible for managing her rental property--and we had no idea where to begin. Thankfully, Kristine stepped in and took care of everything, giving us complete peace of mind. Any issues that came up were handled promptly and professionally. From advertising the property and thoroughly screening tenants to conducting annual inspections and keeping everything in top shape, Rockaway covered every detail we wouldn't have known how to manage on our own. Most importantly, their expert, compassionate management allowed us to focus on what mattered most: caring for our mom. The stress of handling a rental property disappeared once Rockaway was involved. We're so grateful for their guidance, reliability, and support during a stressful time. I truly can't recommend them highly enough.

My husband and I just recently worked with Advent Properties to move into our beautiful new…read moretownhouse in Livermore. After months of searching for the perfect place with enough space to start our growing family, we found a property that we thought was simply too good to be true! Working with Trimaine was an absolute breeze. He had answers to all of our questions, accommodated a safe tour experience for us (with a little one on the way we wanted to make sure we were extra careful due to the pandemic), and was excellent at handling all communication and negotiation between ourselves and the owner. He was definitely our biggest cheerleader throughout the entire process and we cannot thank him enough for getting us into the space of our dreams! We truly couldn't be happier with our experience and highly recommend working with Advent Properties to anyone who is looking to find their next place.

We would like to share our experience working with Amy over the past several years as we bought and…read moresold homes in the Bay Area. Amy is very knowledge of the Bay area real estate market and dedicated to her clients. For our last sale, despite the recent slowdown in the housing market,  Amy negotiated the good price for us.  Throughout each transaction, Amy kept us informed every step of the way, making sure we understood all aspects of the process. Her responsiveness made us feel truly cared for, as she was always easy to reach and ready to answer our questions. We truly appreciated Amy's commitment and proactive approach, which went above and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend Amy to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the Bay Area.

Unfortunately, having Amy Kong sell our house this time around was not positive. She did notice that we made substantial improvements to the house by turning a basement room into a full in law unit but did not list it as such , or recommend what we could do so it could be listed as a separate rentable unit. Other things that were not professional were, asking why we wanted multiple bids, asking if we would consider selling the house to her investor friends and not listing it. She was also a Dual Realtor, so she represented us the seller and the buyers as well.

WARNING TO RENTERS: Avoid Progressive SF Property Group. Do…read morenot be fooled by positive reviews from property owners. Progressive SF Property Group (PPG) is hands-down the worst property management company I have ever dealt with. Extreme Neglect & High Utility Bills: It took over a year to fix the lack of any hot water in our kitchen sink, and four months to fix a scalding-hot shower issue caused by a simple shut-off valve their plumber missed. This neglect drove our gas bill up to $300-$470/month despite minimal usage and that includes include all 3 available discounts for budget billing, medical baseline, and -$108.36 for CARE, despite our minimal use of utilities. Unfair Blame & Extortion: Management routinely blames us for building-wide issues we have nothing to do with, including 114-year-old plumbing failures and laundry room floods we had no part in--even attempting to extort over $1,300 from us for damage caused by others. Today, another flood was caused yet again because of the washing machine, but it couldn't have been us because we haven't done laundry here for weeks because we are so afraid to do laundry here because we are worried they will try to blame us yet again for another issue we did not cause, and try to extort us into paying them for it. They also say we are unusually noisy, but our neighbors are louder than us, plus we work night shifts remotely and are usually asleep during the day, so it makes sense we would make some noise by entering and exiting the building at night . Our neighbors kid screamed loud enough for a nice old lady to ring our doorbell and ask us if the kid was okay, because she could hear the screaming from the street! The walls are paper thin. Forced Financial Liability & Harassment: After an uninvited individual caused a fire in a storage area, PPG illegally forced us to pay out-of-pocket for fire remediation. The fire report states that there was NO DAMAGE done to the property because the fire was put out almost immediately, thanks to the quick action of my boyfriend. They demanded we hire a remediation company and pay for it out of pocket immediately, so we did. We hired a professional company, cleaned the space, and provided receipts and photo proof, even went as far to sweep and mop ourselves 2× & send even more photos, because Kenny Thompson the property manager demanded we do so. Despite all of this, now PPG falsely claims we did nothing to remediate and now have served us a 10 day notice to cure or quit, won't tell us what needs to be done to cure the issues they're having, and won't look at proof proving our innocence because they want to kick us out by August 3rd, 2026! Hypocrisy & Lack of Transparency: They constantly hide behind an "uncontactable" HOA when refusing repairs or safety requests (like viewing camera footage after our friends dog was stolen outside the building, or claiming to not offer lockout services), yet weaponize the HOA to spy on and harass tenants in real time. Retaliation & Illegal Eviction Tactics: Because our rent is significantly below current market rate, PPG is actively trying to push us out. They served a vague "10-Day Notice to Cure or Quit" without explaining how to cure it, while refusing to look at evidence proving our innocence. Bottom Line: They are fake, retaliatory, and actively try to illegally pass property damages they should be paying for themselves onto tenants. Avoid renting from PPG at all costs. We believe they want to kick us out because we rent our apartment for significantly below market rate because we signed our lease before the AI bubble, so they want to kick us out so they can rent this 690 sqft apartment to some other poor sucker for probably $3500, or more! I have recently learned the fire should not have even been our legal or financial responsibility fix, since the person who caused the fire wasn't our guest willingly at the time of the fire, it should have been on them to pay for the damages. If they insist on trying to kick us out, I will just have to bring them to small claims court and get a lawyer to defend us against this wrongful and abrupt eviction, because they have zero evidence to back up the majority of their claims, and all of the issues we were actually responsible for were isolated incidents that happened several months ago, and were smaller issues, such as our guest accidentally ringing our neighbors doorbell a single time at night, which they also included in the 10 day notice, despite the fact it only happened a single time, and it happened 6 months ago. Do NOT rent from these people, they are horrible and be fake to your face, they will try to kick you out over stuff that isn't your responsibility, and they will try to illegally force you to pay for it as well. If I could give negative stars, I would. We want to leave, we just don't want to be rushed to leave by August 3rd!

Wesley Ko came highly recommended from a friend. He laid out a plan for us to sell my current…read moreapartment and purchase a new house in 6 months (all in Oakland) and he worked very hard to help accomplish that goal. Throughout the process he was patient, responsive and professional. For the sale, Wesley and his teammates were extremely efficient when it came to staging and holding open houses and we were able to sell my apartment after the first scheduled showings. The only really difficult thing I had to do was say goodbye to the apartment and move out. I am extremely picky and so when we began to tour houses, Wesley's patience and eye for details really helped narrow down potential properties that would be a good fit for me and we also struck out a lot of bad ones. Wesley's experience shines during touring. Just to name a few things he has a keen sense of smell for moisture/mold, can feel for the slightest unevenness in floors and can tell good from bad repair work just from a quick glance and feel, he has really seen it all. This is where a whole lot of Wesley's value comes from, he's not just another paper pusher...he actually enjoys looking at houses with clients and he is great at pointing out things that a normal person wouldn't see. Eventually a few months later we were able to close on a new house that was exactly what I was looking for. It was a pleasure to work with Wesley and he was so helpful throughout the entire process. As I said before he is thoughtful, smart, engaged and it's clear he loves what he does and I now recommend him to everyone I know who is looking to buy in the bay area.
